The Ghost Breaker (The complete Stories Nov. 1951 - Oct. 1952) - Compiled by Voltaire57

The series began in November 1951 with issue #122 of Star Spangled Comics

and graced the cover of the magazine, proving that management

was banking on this hero,

who would grace every cover until issue #130, dated July 1952.

But there would be no issue #131,

at least not in this form, since the magazine became Star Spangled War Stories,

the United States being engaged in the Korean War.

A tenth adventure was not only planned but also completed, and would appear

in issue #7of House of Mystery, dated October 1952. As a result,

Thirteen's name no longer appears, but instead, "Terry" and "Marie"

appear again, the most obvious allusions.

Now it's high time to join this detective of the impossible!

Tracking
Numbering continues with Weird Western Tales (DC, 1972 series) #12

Characters:

Pow-Wow Smith; Outlaw; El Diablo, Billy the Kid, Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill Hickok,

Davy Crockett, Jonah Hex, Bat Lash,

The series was revived in the following decade, and ran 11 bimonthly issues (Sept. 1970 – May 1972) before changing its title and, slightly its format to become Weird Western Tales. All-Star Western vol. 2, #1 starred Pow-Wow Smith, scripted by John Broome, with art by Carmine Infantino. The next four starred the characters Outlaw and El Diablo. With issue #5, the character Outlaw was dropped, with the cover logo “Outlaw” now referring to the replacement-feature star, Billy the Kid. The Western “all-stars” now included such historical characters as Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill and Davy Crockett, in a mix of new stories and reprints, as well as DC stalwarts Pow-Wow Smith, El Diablo and Bat Lash.

Issue #10 (February–March 1972) introduced the enduring and popular character Jonah Hex, created by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga (Tony de Zúñiga). Hex continued as the star of the comic when it changed its name to Weird Western Tales with issue #12 (July 1972), and he continued into issue #38 (Feb. 1977) of the 59-issue series.
